I think the images are very nice. You can see that Japanese spirit... everything has a symmetry, a complexity that at the same time looks simple. I don't know how to explain, since I am not an expert gardener.
I imagine that by being there, and connecting with that beautiful energy that the garden has, from its very conception of twinning two cities, and everything else, you felt inspired and happy.
It is admirable what those people who maintain it do. It looks impeccable.
(My backyard stresses me-relaxes me-stresses me and in the end makes me happy. And in the last 48 hours a fox has arrived to shake my Zen spirit) 😁
Japanese gardens can be very structured from a meaning perspective however they often bring together different elements so don't necessarily feel formally laid out as some of the European gardens are, like in France for instance. This one is very cool.
I think you've got a good relationship with your garden, although if you minimised the stress and maximised the relaxation it might be better again...for you and the Cuban tree-climbing fox in your recent post.
😂😉 Thank you. I will keep this in mind.
